Fatalist Outro Music

While watching the movie, Mayor of Sunset Strip, last night, I got to thinking about my musical choices for my end of days procession.

I have no intentions of leaving yet, so don't be concerned ;)

Current picks:
Slow Country - Gozillaz
Les Amours Perdus - Serge Gainsbourg

More to come.

Casual music.

OK I fold. Finding that next breakthrough record just is not going to happen this year. Yes folks, I am back to the old reliable saying, "Music Still Sucks."

But like I said, I have given in and have become content with some "casual listener" albums that reprieve the industry (for now) from their misunderstanding of what I want to hear...

Defining what I consider "casual music" is a bit difficult but the following should give you an idea: easy, for the drive, background background, and pleasant for a moment.

Completely lost yet? I assumed the worst, so here's two of my current easy music favs.

Phoenix - "Alphabetical." Imagine Timberlake/Neptunes style beats with AIR-esque vocals and you get back excellent French pop thats catchy, and humiliation free. Solid for long weekend drive.

Athlete - "Vehicles & Animals." I initially labelled this new release as working man's rock, but its grown to be much more. Consider it a commended effort into the post-Britpop sound. Elbow anyone?
